Last November the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness notified the final resolution approving the project "Promoting the participation in H2020 of IdiPAZ- H2020PAZ" presented in the call “Europa Redes y Gestores 2017”.

The final aim of the project H2020PAZ is to encourage and facilitate the participation of IdiPAZ researchers in European research, technological development and innovation programs, making possible the coordination and leadership of large projects that improve the rates of success and return of the institute.

In this sense, the H2020PAZ project has two main objectives: to consolidate and expand the current structure of the Internationalization Platform of IdiPAZ and to encourage the participation of the research groups of the institute in international research programs - especially H2020-, technological development and innovation, by the different tasks and activities defined in this proposal.

In order to achieve these main objectives, the project is structured into four task groups with their respective sub-tasks and activities directly related to the specific objectives identified. The task groups are: Awareness raising and training; Participation in proposals; Foreign promotion; and Project Management.

H2020PAZ will have a duration of 2 years, being the estimated date of beginning on January 1st, 2017 and ending date on December 31st, 2018.
